Meet other locals who are interested in a discussion of the principles of a Good Society. Kenneth Galbraith's book is a good introduction but there is no substitute for comparing personal views in in informal dialogue.
A wide range of other topics can also feature on our interest list. For example, recently we discussed the book "Metaphors We Live By" by G Lackoff and M Johnson, "Organic Universe" by Italian astrophysicist Giuliana Conforto.
